In the 30-second TV spot targeted at attacking rival presidential hopeful Marc Rubio, Lindsay suggests to the Florida Senator’s supporters, “Maybe you vote for more than just a pretty face.”

However, the ad was instantly pulled after The Daily Caller pointed out that she had 74 porn credits. Since that ad was paid for by a registered presidential committee, Cruz was required to “put his name on the attack before it hit the Internet,” according to Daily Mail.

Lindsay — shown above on her Instagram page — landed the role by responding to an open casting call and came through during her audition. However, after failing to review her film credits — which included a slew of porn — Cruz’s campaign team decided to do some major damage control by completely pulling the ad and starting from scratch.

A Cruz spokesperson told Independent the following, regarding the matter:

“http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/ted-cruz-presidential-campaign-removes-advert-featuring-adult-film-actress-amy-lindsay-a6869801.html“The actress responded to an open casting call. She passed her audition and got the job. Unfortunately, she was not vetted by the casting company. Had the campaign known of her full filmography, we obviously would not have let her appear in the ad.”

The spokesperson continued that a different ad commercial would be filmed in its place.

“The campaign is taking the ad down and will replace it with a different commercial.”
